[QUOTE="flounder, post: 644475, member: 3519"] Published Thursday March 26, 2009 Lawmakers seek delay of new mad cow rules WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of Congress are asking the federal government to delay new rules intended to keep mad cow disease out of the food supply. Led by Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., and joined by Missouri Rep. Roy Blunt, the lawmakers say the new rules create problems for getting rid of cattle carcasses. The new rule is supposed to take effect April 27. The rule prohibits the use of the brains and spinal cords of older cattle as ingredients in livestock feed and pet food. Livestock and agricultural groups have complained this will make getting rid of cattle carcasses more costly and put rendering plants out of business. Mad cow is a brain disease linked to more than 150 human deaths worldwide. The U.S. has had no known human cases of mad cow linked to U.S. beef.
